Wise Words.

‎"His words are like the sound of a needle dragging across a record. A sinking, sickening feeling washes over me. This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So, when the whole things spills, you aren't as devastated." - Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed)

To My Soul Sistas.

I learned that although we want certain relationships to grow with each year, the reality is people change. Some for the better, others not so much. We meet different people every day, but some mean more than others. I have lost some friendships in the past. Just like a dating relationship we grow apart or have different plans in mind. The people who really mattered will always find a way back in our lives.

I have very few close relationships because I prefer quality over quantity. These are the people who I would do anything for. These are the people who I give 100% Teresita to on the daily basis. These people know me in and out, good, bad and fabulous. I owe these people a lot for trying to understand such a flawed person.

Every now and then I love just hanging out with my girls. Just us, our emotions and some alcohol. We share our deepest thoughts, lots of laughs and sometimes tears. These ARE the fruits of my labor. We work so damn hard every day, never giving up and then it's time to unwind. Time to just not give a fuck about anything in the world. Time to make fun of our decisions and the cards that are dealt. We don't judge each other, we just respect our choices. So here's to another drunken, funny and memorable night.

Although we are not blood sisters, we're soul sisters.

I got bit by the Emily Giffin bug! (thanks to my sister)

I love her books, they're everything a non-reader like myself ever dreamed of.

The movie to 'something borrowed' will be out in 2011. :)

First, I read

Relationship Blues

Although I listen to r&b 24/7, when I listen to Mariah Carey & Toni Braxton it usually means one of two things: heartbreak or heartache.

(the old MC has unbelievable songs!)

I find myself having relationship blues and it can at times be hard to express my feelings without being rude. That's just the way I am. So there goes rounds 1-12.

There comes a time in every relationship when you question the purpose of it and the person who you are with. No one couple has a perfect relationship so there is no need to chase an impossible outcome. But for the sake of love we must learn to get along.

As women we can sometimes feel like we are taken for granted bc we do not get praised enough for our deeds. I do not need a parade, but at the same time show me that you appreciate me. I absolutely hate not being enough for someone when you went above and beyond. I am a certain kind of woman who likes to keep her dignity and is not desperate to be in love. My argument is appreciate what you have bc once I am gone, please believe I am not going to look back. I cook, clean, please you in every way and I have depth to myself.

I have no doubt in my body that you absolutely adore me, but showing it and saying it are two different animals.

Ahhhhh. and the venting continues. *turns up the music*

What's All The Fu#$@n' Fussin' For?!

I have been told before that I have no filter. Maybe I don't but most of the shit that comes out of my mouth is true. I don't take people's feeling into consideration a lot. Unless I genuinely care about them. That's not to say that I am a complete bitch. I say what some people don't want to say. If you are being a complete douche bag, but some people are "afraid" to tell you, then i'll tell you. I do not however go around bullying people or expressing my opinion to everyone. I learned as a kid to get over things that you cannot change.

Some people think it's unlady-like to swear. Tell me who wrote the 'How to Behave as a Woman' handbook and i'll have a few words with them. I don't see anything wrong with using curse words every now and then. I do not curse around kids or at work (unless I need to). Yes, there are ways to talk to people depending on the circumstance you are in. If you are in a professional environment of course you're not going to curse. Bottom line is if need be, there is nothing wrong with saying a curse word or ten. It's fun to just verbally slap the shit out of certain people.

Believe it or not, I do have manners. ha! :)

Ambitious Girl...

Wale-

you'd rather chase your dreams than to try to chase these men...Ambitious Girl.

What does this mean to you?

Sucka for a Love Song.

Since I was a little girl I remember jammin to Toni Braxton, Keith Sweat, New Edition, R.Kelly, Next, Jodeci, Dru Hill, Jagged Edge, Ginuwine, Usher, 112, Aaliyah, SWV, Xscape, Brian McKnight, Donell Jones, Blackstreet, Case, H-Town, Silkk, I can go on! I didn't even know how 'grown' the music was at the time.

I always got in my brother's and sister's cd's and the music just never left me! I seriously listen to love songs 24/7. As I grew older my list of r&b grew out of control. Very seldom do I listen to the radio or rap.

Just give me some headphones with my r&b and I can lay there for days...

Men you date & men you marry.

They say you can’t turn a ho into a housewife. Well, you can’t turn a hoe into a husband either.

The other day I came across an article on lust vs love that I seriously loved.

In a nut shell the article stated that some women make the mistake of being infatuated with the person who treats them poorly as opposed to the man who adores them and gives them the world. This is very true with a lot of women. I find that a lot of these women are either immature or have low self-esteem. Some are infatuated with the whole "thug" image and dream of dating drug dealers who in return beat and cheat on them.

From personal experience, when I was younger I didn't want the good guy because that meant we were going to date for a long time and I was not ready. But I was also a teenager. I learned that both good guys and the bad ones can break your heart, but realized that the stupid girl image was not for me.

The article refers to Jazmine Sullivan's song called "I'm in love with another man" which pretty much says "it's not you, it's me". Sound familiar? Wasn't long before I realized that some men do this too. Sometimes they feel like they don't deserve a good woman and instead would rather settle for less. Sometimes these situations leave the good person feeling unworthy, but the truth is they are better off with someone of the same caliber, someone grateful.

Ultimately, I realized that I am not alone on this topic. See article here: http://bitchielife.necolebitchie.com/2010/07/there-are-men-you-date-and-men-you-marry/

Taurus.

I think I am the proudest Taurus around. Anyone who knows me knows that I am crazy about zodiac signs. I believe that our zodiac sign tell us so much about our personality and character. Every person is definitely different, however we have certain traits that we have in common with people born under the same sign. We all have good traits and of course, flaws.


Of course the most popular trait of the bull is stubborn. The bull is mellow and hates change. We do not like being the center of attention and are fairly quiet until pushed over the limit. Then comes popular trait number two, bad temper. Taurus are known for their extreme temper and short fuse!

On the same hand we are super affectionate and romantics! We are very loving, caring, loyal and sensual.
